What is Copyright Act 2000?

The Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation has launched a consultation on amendments to the Copyright and Related Rights Act 2000 (CRRA 2000), to deal with the problems identified by Mr Justice Charleton in the EMI v UPC decision.

Also, you blatently threatened his business, which in general is not a good idea to do. Small claims court is the proper thing to do as well as a proper letter (not a verbal threat) letting him know that the website needs to be taken down according to such and such law until you are paid for your services, etc....

A contract, so the first thing you do is contact the person that you dealt with for the commission, point out what your contract was for, and the fact that you are aware the school is now using your copyrighted image. Be nice, be friendly. Tell them that they are in violation of your copyrights, and you'd be happy to work out a financial arrangement that is beneficial to you so they can c...s the site for Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts If you're feeling charitable, you can tell them you are going to now donate all the proceeds from future sales to some charity. Or keep the money. The minute they give you a hard time, I would let them know that you are going to be contacting the local press on this issue. Because no matter what they say, they are taking advantage of you.
